We will probably see each candidate dress up as upland bird hunters (FUDDs) within a days with their orange vests and maybe a bird dog on loan from someone telling us how they each support the 2A. If chatterili does win the governor and the dems retain the legislature he will not have the balls to stand up to them and shut down the state. If this does occur you will also see a mad rush in the legislature to change all the powers of the NJ governor, temporarily of course. as the other poster said it would be better to win the legsilature and lose the gov so we could get a 4 year reprive from stupid laws. but will the NJ rinos really grow spines overnight. ---

We can only hope, the events of the past week will wake up some people in the middle, as they see how screwed up and evil the Dem party is. Can you imagine, if Mamdani wins in NYC and Mikie wins here, man, things will really be screwed up in the tri-state area. ---

> [@xtors](#): > > She’s awesome at taking things completely out of context. Like the 10% tax lie they’ve been pushing hard _“I just came back from Tennessee not too long ago,” Ciattarelli explained. “We were on a fundraising trip there, and Tennessee has no income tax. What Tennessee has is a 10% sales tax on everything, including food and clothing. The philosophy has always been in this state [that] we have like a 7% sales tax just to round off the numbers, but there’s no sales tax on necessities of life, food, and clothing. I will work with the New Jersey State Society, CPAs. We’re going to look at what other states do. And every option is on the table.”_ _So no, Jack was NOT proposing a 10% sales tax. He was illustrating how different, lower tax states have reformed their respective tax systems. But because the Democrat Party is desperate to blunt any GOP momentum in New Jersey, they deceptively edited Jack’s comments down to the following, misleading presentation:_ [![](https://njgunforums.net/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5e18245edd8e40a7d33d601b394a45b295cb1050.jpeg "Greater Garden State Ad: Trump of Trenton") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qcjShGmzb4&t=15s) ---

That’s all the Dems have, Orange Man Bad. They offer no REAL solutions for the problems our nation (and states) face. I hope the majority of the voters see the Dems for what they are, especially in light of all the recent events. ---
